No matter what the day brings, deep down I know it really is a good day because I have the man of my dreams, a kitty who loves me, a roof over my head and I live in paradise.279924 Curiosities served

"Celebrate! It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters, in the end." - Ursula K. Le Guin

It is gray and gloomy this morning with the marine layer in. Of course I know that I will see sunshine later in the day.
For today's reading, I thought I would share with you a little story I wrote back in January 2000, titled "Thump:"
In the middle of the night, there was a thump.
It made me sit right up in bed and look around. My heart was pounding and my ears were straining.
"What was that?" I wondered.
I didn't dare get out of bed. I didn't dare to put my foot or hand over the edge of the bed. Whatever made the thump just might be under the bed.
"Thump." I heard it again. “Oh, what could it be?” I wailed.
"Thump." It sounded like it was getting closer.
"Thump." I got myself under the bedclothes and peered out from under the sheet. What might I see?
"Thump." I could see into the hallway.
"Thump." To my amazement and relief, my son went by the door dribbling a basketball in one hand and holding a piece of cake in the other.
The tension went out of me. I had to laugh at myself for the use of my imagination. Monsters under the bed, only in my mind. I lay back down and went to sleep.
Under the bed though, was a dragon tossing a tennis ball against the slats on the bottom of the bed.
"Thump."
